Actually, it's BOTH a card reader and a USB flash drive and it works great for both Palm and PC! I've been using one for about 2 months, except I paid $94 for mine at that time. The nice thing about the Cruzer, unlike any other flash drive I have seen, is that the SD card is removable so you can take the SD card from your Palm, insert it into the Cruzer's slot, place the Cruzer into your PC's USB port, and read your SD card. That also means you can drag and drop files like MP3s onto the SD card. If you're using Windows XP or Windows Me, there is no need to install any drivers. If you're using Windows 98, you'll have to install the driver from the included CD. Here's the link to SanDisk's site about their Cruzer:

If you click their "Interactive Tour" link on the left of that page, one of the options is a video showing how the Cruzer works.

Has anyone actually tested this Sandisk 256mb SD card with the Tungsten, or any palm, for that matter?

I had a Sandisk 128mb card for my M505, which failed miserably. I returned it for a Lexar 128mb SD card, which performed wonderfully in my M505, and now, in my TT...


I heard it was best to go with the Lexar SD cards...
anyone know if they're making a USB portable drive with SD, like Bonzai's ??

I currently have a 256 MB SanDisk SD card in my Tungsten and a 256 MB SanDisk SD card in my Cruzer. Both are working well and I have experienced no problems with either. I also had tried both of them in my TT and both worked perfectly. ... Prior to this, I had a 32 MB SanDisk and a 64 MB Viking Components SD card. No problems with those two cards, either. ... I, too, have read on this board and on others about SanDisk SD cards not working as well as other manufacturers'. That has not been my experience.

I just bought a 128mb sandisk card and have not had any problems with it yet.
I'm just mad that I just came across this deal because I payed $60 for my 128mb card alone :mad:
